Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy will tell you what information Align (“Align,” “we,” or “us”) collects when you and others visit and interact with our website at AlignMe.com (“Site”), how we use it and what choices you have about how what information is used. We collect information from you and other users in connection with the provision of our weight loss services (collectively, “Services”).

We urge you to read our entire Privacy Policy so that you understand both our commitment to you and your privacy.

I. Information You Voluntarily Provide

When you interact with our site for purposes of placing an order, creating an account and/or profile, or making a payment on our Site, we may collect your name, email address, mailing address, contact numbers, age, height, weight, credit card number, and expiration date. The personally identifiable information we collect when you place an order, create an account and/or profile or make a payment on our Site may be used for the purposes outlined in this policy, including:

To fulfill your requests for products and services;

To notify you of order, delivery, and shipment statuses;

To provide you with offers from Align;

Enhance your experience with us; and

To contact you when necessary.

Credit Card and Payment Information

Align does not share any of your payment information with third parties (except to its payment processors).

Information Provided in Optional Surveys

Align periodically asks members to participate in online surveys or fill out online questionnaires concerning topics such as the effectiveness of the weight loss program, advertising effectiveness and customer satisfaction. All surveys and questionnaires are optional and the information collected will not be associated with any user’s personal information. Information gathered may be shared with third parties in order to improve customer satisfaction and program effectiveness. No personal information of any user will be connected to survey or questionnaire results.

Other Information You May Voluntarily Provide

From time to time, Align collects third-party email addresses or other contact information from our users and customers so that Align may send information to their friends and family on an as-requested basis. For example, Align collects email addresses when a customer provides us with that information so that we may send out Referral Coupons. We also require the same when users utilize certain functions such as “email this to a friend” features.

In addition, from time to time, Align may make and/or offer new products and services available for users which may involve different privacy practices, which such practices will be disclosed to users at that time.

II. Information Collected Automatically

We also collect non-personally identifiable information through our Internet log files, which record data such as user IP addresses, browser types, domain names, and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our Site. This information may be used for our business purposes. We may link this information to personally identifiable information for these and other purposes, including personalizing your experience on our Site.

Cookies

When you use our Site, we gather web traffic information via “cookies”. Cookies are small pieces of digital information stored by your browser on your computer and tracks initial and returning visits, browsing patterns on our site, and products ordered and viewed. Our cookies do not contain personally identifiable information, but they enable us to identify you as a repeat visitor and help us personalize your experience. Although most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, you may reset your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to reject cookies generally. Most browsers offer instructions on how to do so in the “Help” section of the toolbar. You need to have cookies enabled on your computer in order to use our site. If you do not accept cookies to use our Website, you may not be able to use certain resources or features of our Website.

Flash Cookies

Certain features of our Website may use local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from and on our Website. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies, and they are not placed on your computer.

Web Beacons, Pixel Tags, and 3rd Party Cookies

Align, or third parties engaged by us, may use web beacons on some pages of this site. A web beacon (also known as a pixel tag or clear GIF) is a graphic image which is used to better understand the browsing patterns of visitors to the page.

When the HTML code for the web beacon points to a site to retrieve the pixel image, information can be passed along such as the IP address of the computer that requested the image, the time the web beacon was viewed and for how long, the type of browser that was used, and previously set cookie values. Web beacons DO NOT pass or read personally identifiable information about you.

Web beacons work in conjunction with cookies set by trusted third parties that are used to assess the effectiveness of particular promotional campaigns or to optimize advertising once a user leaves a website. View your browser’s help section to determine how to configure your browser to reject or manage first-party (i.e., Align) and/or third-party cookies. Align shares aggregated information collected through web beacons to vendors for which the beacon was set to determine the success of marketing campaigns, but does not disclose personally identifying information to these vendors.

Third-party ad servers may track anonymous website usage through web beacons on our Site and other websites. They do this by setting a cookie (or reading a cookie previously placed by them) on users’ computers to track the activities of users who view a web page that contains web beacons.

Third-party ad servers may use information about your visits to this Site and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. Periodically, upon our request, third-party ad servers may report the anonymous data that they collect on our behalf back to us for our internal use and analysis and our treatment of this anonymous data is governed by the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Technologies other than cookies may be used by third-parties in a similar way, to recognize the email recipient’s computer or device and to keep track of which user identities match to which devices or browsers, and those technologies may not respond to browser settings that block conventional cookies. You may opt out of many of these types of technologies by visiting the NAI’s opt out page at http://www.networkadvertising.org.

How we respond to “DO NOT TRACK” signals

We do not respond to web browser “do not track” signals or other mechanisms that provide you the ability to exercise choice regarding the collection of personal information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services.

We may use cookies and web beacons for insight with respect to the usage of the Site, and so that we could continually improve our customer’s experience. At times, we use third-parties to analyze usage of our website. However, we do not disclose your personally identifiable information to such third-parties.

III. What Align Does With Your Information

Will Align disclose the information it collects to outside parties?

Align shares your information (other than payment information) with third-party vendors for shipping and billing purposes and with other third-parties that provide a service to help us operate our business and the Site and administer activities on our behalf.

Align may also provide aggregate statistics about our customers, sales, traffic patterns, and related site information to reputable third-party vendors.

To share your account information with other members of your household.

Align may also sell, transfer or otherwise share some or all of its assets, including your personally identifiable information and non-personally identifiable information, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets or in the event of bankruptcy. You will have the opportunity to opt out of any such transfer if the new entity’s planned use or sharing of your information differs materially from that set forth in this Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for obtaining access to the mobile device services. Such access may involve third-party fees, including mobile carrier, text messaging, or airtime charges.
